In Search of Darkness is the most complete retrospective documentary of the genre ever made. Featuring compelling critical takes, insider tales, and unheard anecdotes, this extraordinary documentary delivers a new perspective on the decade that gave rise to some of the horror genre’s greatest films and franchises.

These ‘80s horror legends are joined by popular horror commentators and critics, including James Rolfe (Cinemassacre), James A. Janisse (Dead Meat), and Joe Bob Briggs (Host of The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs).

Each of the contributors gives their unique take on the genre and the films they were a part of. This is your opportunity to go behind the scenes of your favorite horror movies with the largest cast of ‘80s horror legends ever assembled.

This set includes:

• The most comprehensive documentary on ‘80s Horror ever made, clocking in at more than 260 minutes (DVD or Factory-Pressed Blu-Ray) and featuring 45+ contributors.

• John Carpenter (Director – The Fog, The Thing, They Live, Prince of Darkness) describes how his dislike of the “greed is good” ethos of the ‘80s motivated him to create They Live, and how The Thing’s initial critical and financial failure led to him losing the director spot on Stephen King’s Firestarter.

• Doug Bradley (Actor – Hellraiser Franchise) reveals insights into the creation of his own iconic character, Pinhead, which he helped to shape alongside his former school chum Clive Barker. He declares, “Pinhead is a horror monster who would be perfectly at home at a garden party with Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde trading epithets.”

• Tom Atkins (Actor – The Fog, Halloween III, Night of the Creeps) reveals that director George A. Romero offered him any role he wanted in the horror anthology Creepshow. Despite this, he didn’t get his first choice. Find out what role he originally chose and how his second choice ended up making Stephen King very nervous.

• Heather Langenkamp (Actor - A Nightmare on Elm Street) details her unexpected reaction to Wes Craven’s shocking script and the “crazy day” on the Elm Street set filming her iconic bathtub scene with Freddy’s glove.

• Keith David (Actor - The Thing, They Live) recalls the two-week prep and cinematic inspirations for his epic fight with Roddy Piper in They Live.

• Joe Dante (Director - The Howling, Gremlins) explains how Gremlins was originally a much darker film and why they scrapped the plan for the beloved Gizmo to become the evil Gremlin, Stripe.

• Barbara Crampton (Actor - Re-Animator, From Beyond) on cocaine-fuelled filmmaking and the use of nudity and violence to sell horror.

• Caroline Williams (Actor - Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) on what she considers the “ultimate feminist moment” in that pivotal Chainsaw 2 scene that finds Leatherface’s chainsaw between her legs.

• Greg Nicotero (SFX - Creepshow, Day of the Dead) pulls back the curtain on some of the era’s greatest SFX shots, including the use of rancid pig intestines on the Day of the Dead set.

• Jeffrey Combs (Actor - Re-Animator, From Beyond) on crossing the line of excess in horror and how the most shocking scene in Re-Animator almost went too far.
